- How to update your maps to the new specifications?
In OCAD, you can update a map drawn with ISOM 2017-2 or ISSprOM 2019-2 to the latest symbol set by using the function Update Symbol Set.
For maps that are drawn with an older symbol set, use the function Symbol Set Conversion. Check the page Symbol Set Overview to find out which symbol set you are using.
I was looking for a good place to ask this, but could not find a better one: when using the area symbols 601.002 and 601.003 Magnetic North lines, there is no way of shifting then entire area to right or left or I am not finding how to do it.
I wanted to see if there is an equivalent somewhere to the handling in OOM, where under the “Area Settings” for an area symbol on can enter a Line offset, which effectively moves the displayed lines.
